My approach is influenced by Jungian, Depth, and Transpersonal psychology, feminist, queer and social justice-allied, and strength-based. I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies, and have been in practice for 10 years in a wide variety of clinical mental health settings.
In addition to my training and experience, I truly care about and respect my clients. It's an honor to assist them in resolving issues and challenges that block their ability to and experience joy and happiness in a troubled world. Being a therapist is not just a job for me, it is my calling.

trauma, or identity exploration, therapy can be a place to gently make sense of
what feels overwhelming.
As a trauma-informed and trauma-trained therapist, I believe healing happens

Are you struggling to have harmony in your relationships? Does having ease in your life seem like a far-fetched dream? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the state of the world and all you have to do? Welcome, you're in the right place! I have been in your shoes and the first (or twenty) step is always the hardest. As someone who has learned to balance multiple cultures, I know what it can feel like to straddle various parts of your identity. I have first hand experienced feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, angry, and at a complete loss for how to navigate the intensity of my emotions. This has informed my practice and work with clients where I strongly believe that our emotions guide us to understanding ourselves in a new light. Asking for help can be difficult, especially in a culture that values productivity over personality.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Nevada City
Searching for therapists in Nevada City starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and work with people who share your goals.
In a smaller community like Nevada City, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Nearby areas such as Grass Valley may offer additional choices, and virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their session style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and decide who may be the right match.
Therapy in Nevada City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing an estimate before you book can make the next step clearer. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and see providers who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
